The CGB code as I understood it was a special code for parts manufactured to UK spec ?
My carrier is a 42 unit but didn't expect to find any British kit on it.

As Canadian Carriers are basically a copy of British ones and parts would have had to be interchangeable as much as possible I imagine, the brake expanders and adjusters were Girling brake components, the British Army code prefix for Girling was GB, so the Canadian made parts to British pattern were anointed with CGB. Not British parts but to our design.
